章 98: At Her Dad's Place

(From Leandro's Perspective)

I did not want to let her go. But I had to. Even if she had not said that she would go to her Dad's place, I would have still sent her there. I needed to go some places and there was no way I could take her with me. It was dangerous if she was around too many Orgades and moreover, most of them were men. 

"That's the one," I said, pointing towards a small house in front of us.

"It's bigger than the cave..."

"Everything is bigger than the cave," I said. "But it's more comfortable there."

"Well, that's true," she mumbled. "So..."

"Let's go in."

"Are you sure you won't get into a fight with Dad?"

"I won't," I said, though I was not sure if that would be the case. Every time I looked at Alessandro, I was reminded of the fact that because of him, my little El had to suffer. She was not at fault at all.
